[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2070217, member: 503862"] I don't know whether it is pertinent to your question or not but both my mum and my aunt were diabetic, the difference is they started out as type 2 and gradually moved to being insulin dependent. My mum died at 89 (not diabetes related), my aunt died at 93. Didn't note any issues with my aunt and the only thing with my mum was that she had poor eyesight in later life, which she could have had in any case. I know that she really struggled with her diabetes medication as a type 2 as it did not agree with her of course she followed a high carb diets as recommended so consequently her bloods used to run quite high, guess that's why she ended up taking insulin.
